You know if you have made an ice the story line is that ice was never meant to be a type of magic to attack, but they said that practicing thautremergy was using magic to build like giant castles in the sky.
Well what if made that a kind of skill for every school to use, like crafting or gardening. You know making our own castles.
I think it would be cool to able to do what the orginal magics game from.
i suppose it would be interesting, i mean i would love to make my out house completely out of ice. but other schools that arent ice would have to find something different to make their houses out of. maybe life could be a gigantic tree, but what of death? would it be made out of bones? i do love your idea though. i would make a gigantic maze and a house with a million secret passages.
